Reasons NOT to buy:

User Reviews

  • Some users wish the shoulder straps were wider to distribute tension and prevent any bunching during use.
  • The sizing runs small, so you may need to try-on in person before purchasing.

Expert Reviews

  • The ‘support’ feature may not work as claimed and provide any extra muscular comfort.
  • Although the material and construction is fairly comfortable, it is not the most comfortable option for long enduro rides when compared to similar choices on the market.
  • The chamois pad is comfortable, but the design won’t suit all body types.
